58 years ago on this day my dad left this earth. I still grieve the years I didn’t have with him. 80 years ago today he was a gunner on a ship bringing soldiers to Utah beach in Normandy. I found these pictures in my dads things. I’m not sure if they are of Normandy or another one of the landings he participated in, but I imagine they are Normandy and I imagine the fear he had, the courage he showed, and the pride he had when he took the picture of the flag on the ship.
